There are three essential categories of home theater system components: source, display, and sound. Source components are those where the media you are viewing is coming from. This includes things like Blu-Ray Players and Home Theater Personal Computers, among other things. Each source component has to be connected by various cables to a display component, typically through something like a receiver. Display components are televisions or projectors with screens where you can watch your chosen media. But the visual aspect of your media is not the only thing to think about, and that is where your sound components such as speakers, amplifiers, and the such come into the decision making process. Many components have specific types of cables through which the media can go in order to be displayed and heard.
